§ 58. Mr. Pardoeasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will seek to introduce new regulations governing the efficiency of braking systems for British cars sold in the home market to give at least 70 per cent. reserve brake effort after the first failure.
§ Dr. GilbertI am discussing with industry the introduction of a requirement for all passenger cars sold on the home market, whatever their origin, to meet the standards contained in the European Community Directive on Braking. This lays down adequate standards of secondary braking, although not as high as the hon. Member suggests.
